Warranty : Our fuel injectors are manufactured strictly for use with high performance engines for racing and off-highway use only, and are therefore subject to the unusual stresses normally associated with this type of use. Since the operation of these engines is far in excess of the safe limits that are usually set for engines, breakage and failures are common, and are an accepted risk in racing. Also, the history of racing has always been one of trial and error by the users of this type of equipment. Therefore, because of the many unknown factors involved in experimentation, and because of the safe limits being exceeded by virtually every part in the engine, we do not offer a warranty of any kind on our equipment. It is purchased and used by the buyer at his own risk and with this understanding. If any of our parts become defective after purchase, the buyer assumes all cost of service or repair.
Disclaimer : Fuel Injection Engineering (FIE) is providing all information herein to familiarize potential customers with its' products and services. Because racing is inherently dangerous, no representation of your safety is implied.

MAḤZOR (plural, Maḥzorim):(Redirected from VITRY, SIMḤAH B. SAMUEL.)
Term applied to the compilation of prayers and piyyuṭim; originally it designated the astronomical or yearly cycle. By the Sephardim it was used for a collection which contains the prayers for the whole year, while the Ashkenazim employed it exclusively for the prayer-book containing the festival ritual. The Maḥzor varies with the custom (
From the Byzantine empire the use of piyyuṭim was introduced into southern Italy, and thence into Rome. The Romans adopted some parts of the Maḥzor Romaniya, discarded others, and added much that was new, thus forming a new rite known by the name "Minhag Bene Roma," or "Minhag Lo'azim," or "Minhag Iṭalyani." The Roman ritual was widely disseminated from Rome, and after 1520 the Greek ritual was based upon the Roman Maḥzor, which served also as a basis for the rituals of Corfu and Kaffa. The Roman Maḥzor was published first at Soncino in 1485. Johanan Treves wrote a commentary on it under the title "Ḳimḥa de-Abishona," which was published, together with the text, at Bologna in 1540. An Italian translation of the Maḥzor was published at Bologna in 1538, at Vienna in 1823, and at Leghorn in 1837.Ashkenazic Rite.
The use of piyyuṭim was introduced into northern Europe probably from Italy. There, again, the Maḥzor underwent many changes, and a German ("Ashkenazi") ritual was established which is contained in the "Maḥzor Ashkenaz," the "Maḥzor Pehm [Bohemia] we-Polin [Poland]," and the "Minhag Ẓarfat" (="French ritual"). Of these the first two only are now in use. The French ritual was never published; it is extant partly in manuscript and partly in the ritual of the three Italian communities of Asti, Fassano, and Moncalvo, where many French Jews settled after their expulsion from France in 1306 and 1394. The several Maḥzorim included in the Ashkenazic ritual vary in some details, but agree in essentials. They are distinguished from those of other rituals in containing numerous piyyuṭim based upon the Halakah and Haggadah. The German ritual is used by the Jews in Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, or Silesia, Prussian Poland, Russia, Austria, Hungary, France, and England. The Ashkenazic Maḥzor was first published about 1521, the Polish in 1522. Among the commentaries on the German and Polish Maḥzor, which have often been published together with the text, are those of: Benjamin ben Meïr ha-Levi of Nuremberg (Tanhausen, 1540), Isaac ben Jacob Jozebel (entitled "Hadrat Ḳodesh," Venice, 1554), an anonymous writer (entitled "Ma'agle Ẓedeḳ," Venice, 1568), Ẓebi Hirsch Zundels (Lublin, 1579), Nathan Shapira (Cracow, 1604), Joseph Bezaleel Kaẓ Meḥoḳeḳ (Prague, 1616), a second anonymous writer (with additions entitled "Sefer ha-Masbir," by Joseph
Translations of parts of the German Maḥzor into the vernacular of the countries in which they were used began to be made as early as the fourteenth century. In 1571 Abigdor ben Moses published a Judæo-German translation of the Maḥzor for New-Year and the Day of Atonement. In 1600 the Judæo-German translation of the whole Maḥzor was published by Meïr Anshel ben Joseph Mordecai of Posen. A German translation of the whole Maḥzor was first published by Benjamin Wolf Heidenheim, 1800. He was followed by Prosper of Alsace (Metz, 1817), Moses ben Israel Landau (Prague, 1834), Moritz Frenkel (Berlin, 1838-40), I. N. Mannheimer (Vienna, 1840), Moses Pappenheimer and Jeremiah Heinemann (Berlin, 1840-41), Raphael Jacob Fürstenthal (Krotoschin, 1845), Meïr ha-Levi Letteris (Prague, 1845), and Michael Sachs (Berlin, 1855). A French translation of the whole Maḥzor was published by Elhanan Durlacher (Paris, 1852).
The first attempt to render the Maḥzor into English was made by A. Alexander, who in 1787 published the piyyuṭim for the eve of the Day of Atonement, and in 1789 the whole service for New-Year. In 1794 David Levi published an English version of the services for New-Year, the Day of Atonement, and the feasts of Tabernacles and Pentecost, and thirteen years later gave a new version of the whole Maḥzor. In 1860 a new English version was published by David Aaron de Sola. A Dutch translation of the entire Maḥzor was published by Gabriel Isaac Pollack in 1841. The services for New-Year and the Day of Atonement were rendered into Russian by Rabbi Hurwitz after 1880.In Spain.
Spain, in the Middle Ages the home of Jewish poetry, could hardly be satisfied with the piyyuṭim of Ḳalir, which had been introduced either from Babylonia with the "Siddur" of R. Amram Gaon, or from Italy. These, therefore, were replaced by new piyyuṭim composed by Spanish poets, as Joseph ben Abitur, Solomon Gabirol, Isaac Ghayyat, Judah ha-Levi, and Abraham and Moses ibn Ezra. Indeed, the number of piyyuḥim composed by Spanish poets was so great that almost every Spanish city had its own ritual. After the Spanish exile the same ritual was adopted by all the Sephardim with the exception of the Catalonian and Aragonian congregations of Salonica, which still use their old Maḥzor for New-Year and the Day of Atonement.
The Maḥzor of the Sephardic ritual was first published at Venice in 1614. As representing distinct branches of the Sephardic ritual may be regarded: the Tripoli Maḥzor for New-Year and the Day of Atonement (published first at Venice in 1648, under the title "Sifte Renanot"); the Maḥzor of Tunis (published at Pisa); the Maḥzor of Algiers ("Minhag Algaza'ir," published first at Amsterdam in 1685); and the maḥzorim of Provence and Languedoc, four of which are still extant—those of Avignon, Carpentras, Cavaillon, and Montpellier. Many piyyuṭim of the Sephardim were incorporated into the Maḥzor of northern France, and some of them entered the German Maḥzor. Parts of the Spanish Maḥzor, like the "'Abodah" of Joseph ben Abitur, the "Azharot" of Solomon ibn Gabirol, and various poems by Isaac ibn Ghayyat, were annotated by Jacob Anatoli, Moses ibn Tibbon, Isaac ben Todros, Simon Duran, and by others. Jacob Tam compiled a maḥzor modeled upon the Spanish Maḥzor, and many liturgical poems of Spain are found in the Maḥzor Vitry, compiled by Simḥah ben Samuel of Vitry, pupil of Rashi.
The Spanish Maḥzor exerted an influence upon the Karaite ritual. Several rabbinical poems of Spanish origin were introduced into the Karaite service before it was arranged by Aaron ben Joseph. See Liturgy; Poetry; Siddur.

Future Plans for AnxietySocialNety (ASN)
When AnxietySocialNet (ASN) made its debut, one of its primary objectives was to provide support to the individuals whose lives were clouded by their silent struggles against anxiety related disorders. Almost a year since its launch, this aim has been met, and ASN continues to build up strength with each new member and contribution from the community.
Within ASN, members have been discussing their fears, symptoms and experiences, and it's been reassuring when the advice and exchanges have proven helpful. Whereas in the past, sufferers felt alone, they now realize there are many out there in the same boat, who are willing to reach out with support and encouragement.
To continue on the path of providing support to our members, we are working on launching a new dimension to ASN, the Therapist Program.
What are the goals of "Therapist Program"?
Since the start, ASN has leaned towards creating an environment of peer-to-peer support. It is our core belief that personal stories and shared experiences can provide an important level of moral support. Yet, we also understand that this approach may not work for everyone, and in many cases, it is important to seek outside expert help. Just as there is no substitute for peer-to-peer support, there is also no substitute for trained and professional therapy.
Depression and anxiety manifest themselves in different ways, and symptoms may be dissimilar, even from person to person. The roots of an individual's problems are sometimes deep seeded, and a non-specialist may not always be able to provide the necessary depth of understanding or support.
The "Therapist Program" will be a great tool for those looking for therapy within ASN. It will provide ASN users with the possibility of choosing a therapist in a much more social way.
We hope that by additionally launching the "Therapist Program" ASN can expand our support and value to our community members. We believe the program will deepen the effectiveness of ASN in providing a range of helpful advice and help show us alternative pathways to recovery.
What changes can you expect with the launch of "Therapist Program"?
Current and future members will continue to enjoy membership at no charge. Professional Therapists, however, will be able to register under the ASN Therapist Program, paying a monthly fee which covers their participation as Therapists, as well as being able to get referrals on the ASN network.
While the listed therapists are free to respond to members in the Q & A section, they will be unable to view the other interactions or diaries of members. Members may choose to get in touch with the therapists and interact with them on ASN and offline as well.
What if you are not interested in therapy?
Well, that's all right! While our aim is to ensure that this feature is available for those seeking therapy, the section will be featured in a discreet way. The Therapists will have their own wall, so their interaction will not appear in the regular newsfeed. Those looking for a therapist will be able to click on the "Therapist Wall" and choose to get in touch and interact with them.
Can I be contacted directly by a therapist?
None of our listed professional therapist will be permitted to view the personal details of members, nor will they be able to send them personal messages. They will be able to interact with regular users only if that user adds them as a friend first.
How would our Therapist Program differ from a regular therapist directory?
ASN is creating the first integrated social network for patients and therapists, and this is the principal difference. Their profiles will appear as a listing, with their details, as well as their stance and qualifications, experience, location etc. One of the unique features will be that the therapist profiles will have the option of "ASN likes" so therapists can be judged by the community.
By being able to see the therapist's blogs, status updates and interactions, members will be able to make more informed decisions on who would be the best therapist for them. This would be a step beyond merely consulting a therapist with no prior information about them.
Are the therapists' credentials verified by ASN?
Yes, we will manually verify every therapist. Many directories claim that their therapists are verified but after a closer look at their Terms of Service they deny every responsibility. It would be difficult to know if a therapist has, at any time, had his license revoked. We will verify this detail upon signing them up, however we cannot guarantee their continued credentials. The listed therapists will not be featured as verified, and it rests with the patients themselves to check the veracity of therapist credentials.
When will the changes go live?
This program is still under development, with plans to go live with the Therapist Program within the next 6 months, around November 2012.
Still have questions? Contact us.

We are a community of people struggling with mental health issues, you are not alone!

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
An Essay on the Principle of Population, or a View of its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness; with an Inquiry into our Prospects respecting the Future Removal or Mitigation of the Evils which it Occasions (London: John Murray 1826). 6th ed. 2 vols. https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/1944,
This is the 6th expanded edition of the work. There are two versions of Thomas Robert Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population. The first, published anonymously in 1798, was so successful that Malthus soon elaborated on it under his real name. The rewrite, culminating in the sixth edition of 1826, was a scholarly expansion and generalization of the first. In this work Malthus argues that there is a disparity between the rate of growth of population (which increases geometrically) and the rate of growth of agriculture (which increases only arithmetically). He then explores how populations have historically been kept in check.

Ten Buffalo State students celebrated the holiday season by volunteering in Detroit through the alternative break program, which is coordinated by the Volunteer and Service Learning Center (VSLC).
"It went really well," said Aurora Schunk, the VSLC associate who accompanied the students. Osayonmwonbor Rachel Algbedo, a senior majoring in forensic chemistry and a member of the alternative break student leadership team, coordinated the trip with Schunk.
In June, Schunk and Algbedo traveled to Detroit for a conference on quality alternative break programs, through which they discovered Cass Community Social Services (Cass).
Both women liked the idea of visiting Detroit because its similarities to Buffalo. "They're both rust-belt cities with money problems and a decline in manufacturing jobs," said Schunk.
"Cass was a good fit for us because it provided meals and a place to stay, plus the opportunity to do different kinds of volunteer work," said Algbedo.
The group slept in a transitional housing facility run by Cass and took part in different activities each day. By the end of their stay, they had painted walls in a housing complex, served meals, and worked with developmentally disabled adults.
"Cass is also committed to environmental sustainability and job creation," said Schunk. "They have a workshop for making mud mats, and we worked there, side by side with people who are homeless, learning how to do it and helping to fill the Christmas orders."
The mats are made from tires—so far, 30,000 of them—scavenged from the streets and abandoned properties of Detroit. "We went on a tire hunt with two of the workers," said Schunk. The students had a chance to hear people's stories. "One man told us that he felt like he won the lottery because his son had graduated from high school," she said.
Every evening, the group reflected on the day's activities. "Rachel led the conversation," said Schunk. "She asked the students to think about what a community is, and what it needs and offers. The students talked about their own needs and skills. We talked about the high points and low points of the day, sharing perspectives and trying to understand the situation of Detroit as a whole—causes, solutions, gray areas. It was interesting to hear different people's perspectives." Two students who are majoring in urban planning added additional insights to the discussion.
Schunk said that, through the alternative break, students came to believe that it's important to show compassion and understanding to everyone in their lives, because things can happen in anyone's life to make things get bumpy. "You need to look beyond face value and dig deeper before you judge someone," said Schunk. "I think they really got that."
Information sessions about this semester's Alternative Spring Break will be held Tuesday, February 4, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. or Wednesday, February 12, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Both sessions will take place in Bacon Hall 204.

Individuality and independence are the hallmarks of successful adulthood. The road from dependence to individualization can be a painful one (witness the gray hairs on the parents of teenagers) but it's nevertheless a crucial journey to take. So when dealing with the challenges (opportunities?) of adolescent children, we need to first take a deep breath and then remember that they are doing their job.
With this in mind, I humbly offer some tools for dealing with this trying phase. (It's like Lamaze -- you either use the tools or scream!)
1. The acting out is NOT personal (even though the words may sound like it is). Our adolescent children are terrified. They know they need to leave but they are ambivalent about it. They want the security and the freedom. They want independence and reassurance. They are like toddlers, leaving the room and then running back to make sure you are there. Only they're frequently not as cute.
In their confusion, and assisted by their hormonal upheaval, their fear manifests itself as defiance or hysteria. We need to remember that inside they are scared, small children. And that their blow-ups are really not directed as us.
It is a big mistake to engage in a power struggle, to make the issue personal compelling our adolescents to assert themselves, whatever the cost. It's a no-win situation. The wise parent just lets it go (and then runs into the other room for a little primal scream therapy).
2. Be their ally. During this tumultuous time, our teenagers need to know that we believe in them, that we are on their side. Despite their external bravado, they feel very insecure and uncertain. It is crucial that they understand that we support them and their choices (within reason) and that they can always turn to us in need.
(A small caveat: Even with the most understanding of parents, some adolescents prefer to confide in an adult outside the family that they feel close to. We shouldn't feel jealous or resentful or concerned; we should just be glad they have found someone responsible and trustworthy to talk to)
3. Educate each child according to his need. We need to appreciate and encourage our children's individuality. We are not creating replications of ourselves; we couldn't if we tried, and why would we want to? We need to focus on what's best for this particular child, what suits them and their unique needs -- and then do our best to ignore societal pressures (or nudging from their siblings).
At this point in their lives, our teenager's assertion of individuality sometimes involves clashing with our values and tastes. We need to be patient. This is not the end point. I have heard countless stories of situations where the child who was most rejecting of their parents ending living a life most similar to theirs. Parenting adolescents requires thinking long-run, not short-term.
4. Pull close with the right hand and push away with the left. This principle, which suggests that love and compassion take strong precedence over discipline, is true at every stage of a child's life, but no time more so than adolescence. The practical realities certainly force conforming to this idea.
For one thing, our teenage children are often bigger than us (than me anyway) which limits the type of discipline available. For another, we don't want to provoke a fight needlessly (have you noticed a theme?). We need to use the few disciplinary tools we do have (credit cards, access to the car etc.) wisely and sparingly. Most issues are not worth the struggle. If we limit our opposition to a few crucial situations, we are more likely to get a respectful hearing.
When we know that our children may disobey our orders (yes it's true) once they leave the house, it is better to issue advice and not commands: "I don't think it's a good idea to go there and here's why..." "That behavior makes me uncomfortable and here's why..." This allows our teenagers to save face by making the choice themselves and also avoids a power struggle or the need for harsh discipline if they make the "wrong" choice. (This is, needless to say, very general advice and each specific situation needs to be evaluated on an individual basis)
5. Don't get between an adolescent and his or her friends. I can't overemphasize the importance of peers to a teenager. The psychologist Ron Taffel calls them "The Second Family" in his book by that title, and they may, at times, be more emotionally important than the first one. If you try to separate your adolescent child from his friends you will lose the battle and increase the distance between the two of you. Instead, bring them into your home. Make them feel comfortable. Get to know them. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
6. Although teenagers like to experiment, they don't want their parents to. They want us to stay centered, to stay where we are so that no matter how far they roam, they will always know where to find us. Our teenagers don't want us to hang out with them or listen to their music (they'll throw that CD out fast enough). They want us to represent stability, safety in the raging storm. We are their rock and their security and they are counting on us to be parents (not friends).
7. Mother/daughter and father/son struggle more. Duh. In order to prevent this classic confrontation, try to avoid being lured into a confrontation with your same sex child and, where possible, have the opposite gender parent do the (infrequent) disciplining. It's a lot less threatening where the identification is not so strong.
Adolescence is challenging for parents and children. Both sides are struggling and confused. They feel such love and such frustration. Both sides are growing and adjusting. And then adjusting some more. It's too easy to lose sight of the love and caring in the midst of the hostile behavior. It's all too common to walk around with a constant sense of anxiety and possibly anger, with a lot of negative emotion and no productive outlet. As with everything in life, the Almighty is our most powerful ally and prayer our most powerful tool. A little racquetball doesn't hurt either.

It was no surprise that after testimony ended Tuesday in the trial of Steven Hayes, many breathed a big sigh of relief.
On the way out of the courtroom, family and friends hugged Dr. William Petit Jr., the lone survivor of the 2007 Cheshire home invasion and murders of his wife and daughers.
And why not? It had been a grueling eight days of testimony inside the New Haven courthouse. Each day, and seemingly each witness, offered some new horrific detail of the depravity inflicted on the family.
Before the defense and prosecution rested Tuesday, a corrections officer detailed a sickening conversation between Hayes and a fellow inmate.
Except that wasn't nearly the end.
Next comes the penalty phase, which could be just as grueling, if not more, than the trial. And then we get to relive all the gut wrenching details all over again with the trial of the second suspect, Joshua Komisarjevsky.
We already got a taste of what the defense is going to be. One monster pitted against another. Komisarjevsky was the real monster. No, Hayes was the real monster.
Pure nonsense.
But for now, here we are. At the end of testimony in one trial, but nowhere near the end of the nightmare.

So this year started off pretty good! For my birthday I got some pretty sweet gifts too, including a new pink ipod that was totally unexpected and has already been loaded up with all my race songs for this weekend! I tried it out this morning on my three miler and it worked out great. It's screen is so much nicer and larger and I didn't realize what a cool feature having a color screen was. DJ got me the sickest shirt ever that says iRep Long Beach! I love it. I got some sweet giftcards and some dinero too, which is always nice. I had a great time with my family and friends as well. Thank you so much for all the kind words and birthday wishes! :) It was a great day.
I had a delicious funfetti cake that my grandma made and we had this awesome macaroni and cheese that my aunt made.
That night we went out to some bars down the street with some friends. It was fun, and there was some dancing. But for some reason I didn't take any pictures? Oh well.
Speaking of music and dancing, so how I run with music is that I have about 11 hours loaded up on one iPod and just put that on shuffle and what comes up, comes up. Now, this takes a lot of music but I wanted to share the latest of the list that I've recently added to my "speed mix"

Then I've added a lot of Lady Gaga, since I have an obsession with her and most of all the Black Eyed Peas songs also. Here are some past posts where I also posted music, check it out here and this one has a lot of the 'classic' playlists songs.
This morning I woke up with a little bit of a stuffy nose, but I'm going to combat this sickness before it even gets the chance to get the best of me. Oh and let's go Angels!! Light up that halo! :)

Today's blog has been written by Marketwire and Sysomos' COO, Jim Delaney
If you were to believe the recent blog headline "Social Media is a Waste of Time for B-to-B," then your company may miss an a significant opportunity to create communication that leads to valuable business outcomes. Given the nascent nature of the Social Media revolution, there is no shortage of headlines like these based on an incomplete understanding of end-to-end business process. Most posts, like this one, address the value of social media in the context of infrastructure only, detailing the components of the infrastructure that must be in place. Rather than focusing on the infrastructure only, businesses need to think about how social media can support the infrastructure, while also providing high-level business value.
The first question you should always ask is, "How will social media support my company's higher level goals, and why do we want to engage in social media?" As an executive and marketer, it's not that I don't care about the number of friends, followers, views and retweets. But, I'm much more interested in seeing a clearer picture of how social media affects my company on a business level. Does social media help us to manage our company's reputation, augment our customer service program, gain market share, and/or increase employee productivity?
Too often, the focus on social media is tactical communications, with marketing, branding and PR departments rushing to have conversations and share content, without understanding how participation connects to higher-level goals. Simply pumping content through different channels clearly is not enough. Social media success, of course, is based on several basic best practices including: a good functional website where you can drive social media traffic, a customer service program capable of answering questions at numerous touch points, a strong industry presence and the resources to support relationship building with your stakeholders.
However, moving beyond the initial infrastructure, you must also look more closely at using social media to create opportunities that result in better:
Reputation Management
Social media allows a company to proactively set up a customer "listening" program with data and insights to determine how your stakeholders think and feel about your brand. Armed with an enormous amount of analytics, you are able to keep a pulse on the market. You are also constantly monitoring customer sentiment and preventing the smallest negative conversations from escalating into what could be a mountain of crisis, by simply being responsive. Addressing issues as they arise is the best way to preserve a thought leadership position and maintain a positive image in an age of public conversations.
Customer Service Satisfaction
Facebook has become a customer service portal, with employee representatives answering questions, offering useful advice and solving problems on your pages. Whether it's a simple inquiry about your product or a verified complaint, a social network can serve as a helpful forum, opening up a new avenue for stakeholders to praise your service or vent their dissatisfaction. Companies have learned quickly that using Facebook to answer questions cuts down on the call center inquiries, which, in turn, also cuts costs. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of every business. If your stakeholders are participating in social media, then you need to be listening carefully with the right tools to help and solve their issues.
Lead Generation and Sales
The social media million-dollar question is how does community engagement create leads, which convert to product sales? Where social media analytics end, website analytics begin. You must track how your social media program drives traffic to your website, and then monitor your stakeholder behavior from there. Using unique landing pages as a part of a Facebook contest or a Twitter promotion allows you to capture leads on the page, and then use the information to further engage with interested parties. However, if you are not set up properly to capture the social media analytics and track from click to conversation on your website, then you will not be able to see a direct connection between social media participation and potential sales for your company.
Employee Productivity
As much as we rush to communicate through social networks, tremendous value comes from the education and subsequent internal collaboration of your employees. Training employees to understand, embrace and use social media collectively in their departments and even cross functionally opens up your organization to innovation and idea generation. Collaborative technology can be used from brainstorming new product ideas to strategic planning initiatives. Cutting back on email, and streamlining your process by editing documents in real time, is a great way to increase productivity, and also to assure consistent communications messaging, from champion to champion across the organization.
Of course, if you don't have the basics down, then there is no way your organization can even begin to think about how social media is tied to increased market share, reputation management, better customer service, enhanced lead generation and greater employee productivity. Get the basics or infrastructure in place, know what you're trying to achieve and create a social media plan with strategies that lead to greater outcomes.
If you can think about the higher-level goals first, then you will find social media is not a waste of time. In fact, you will realize it leads to valuable business outcomes.

Revision as of 13:21, 16 May 2013
This page is an excerpt from Yocto Project Quick Start Copyright © 2010-2012 Linux Foundation
The Packages
Packages and package installation vary depending on your development system. In general, you need to have root access and then install the required packages. The next few sections show you how to get set up with the right packages for Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE. Ubuntu
If your distribution is Ubuntu, you need to be running the bash shell. You can be sure you are running this shell by entering the following command and selecting "No" at the prompt:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
The packages you need for a supported Ubuntu distribution are shown in the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install sed wget cvs subversion git-core coreutils \ unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils gawk \ python-pysqlite2 diffstat help2man make gcc build-essential \ g++ desktop-file-utils chrpath libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev \ mercurial autoconf automake groff libtool xterm
The following list shows the required packages by function given a supported Ubuntu Linux distribution:
- Essentials: Packages needed to build an image on a headless system:
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo \ build-essential chrpath
- Graphical Extras: Packages recommended if the host system has graphics support:
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev xterm
- Documentation: Packages needed if you are going to build out the Yocto Project documentation manuals:
$ sudo apt-get install make xsltproc docbook-utils fop
- ADT Installer Extras: Packages needed if you are going to be using the Application Development Toolkit (ADT) Installer:
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool libglib2.0-dev
Development Code
Yocto Project code can be found in the Yocto Project Source Repositories. To check out current development code using git:
$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
This creates a standard Poky tree
. └── poky ├── bitbake ├── documentation ├── LICENSE ├── meta ├── meta-hob ├── meta-skeleton ├── meta-yocto ├── meta-yocto-bsp ├── oe-init-build-env ├── README ├── README.hardware └── scripts
Initializing the Build Environment
From the parent directory your Source Directory, initialize your environment and provide a meaningful Build Directory name:
$ source poky/oe-init-build-env mybuilds
At this point, the mybuilds directory has been created for you and it is now your current working directory. If you don't provide your own directory name it defaults to build, which is inside the Source Directory.
Building the Image
At this point, you need to select an image to build for the BeagleBoard xM. If this is your first build using the Yocto Project, you should try the smallest and simplest image:
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
Now you just wait for the build to finish.
Starting the QEMU Emulator
Before you start the QEMU emulator, be sure you have already to set up the emulation environment.
The following commands setup the emulation environment and launch QEMU. This example assumes the root filesystem (.ext3 file) and the pre-built kernel image file both reside in your home directory. The kernel and filesystem are for a 32-bit target architecture.
$ runqemu qemux86 tmp/deploy/images/bzImage-qemux86.bin tmp/deploy/images/core-image-minimal-qemux86.ext3
The environment in which QEMU launches varies depending on the filesystem image and on the target architecture. For example, if you source the environment for the ARM target architecture and then boot the minimal QEMU image, the emulator comes up in a new shell in command-line mode. However, if you boot the SDK image, QEMU comes up with a GUI.

Pableaux Johnson wrote rapturously about cherries and other fruit in the Hood River Valley in Oregon, and though I've never been there, his story had me thinking about a roadtrip.
The folks at Chefshop have been sending me many reminders about the fantastic cherries they will start shipping from Batch Family Farm in eastern Washington. I know you can get cherries at your local market starting right about now, but the Batch cherries are something special. I've had the Lapins, which are juicy and huge, with a deep cherry flavor. This year Chefshop is also selling BFF Sweetheart cherries, which are a new strain of sweet cherries first grown in British Columbia. These are picked right after the Lapins, in mid to late July.
These cherries are expensive (about 17 bucks a pound with shipping), but worth every penny.

Vanessa's Favorite AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Film: The Donner Party
August 22, 2013 in History
August 22, 2013 6:00 a.m.
Just a little background – I love horror movies. I've seen every classic horror movie and then some. So I was completely mesmerized by The Donner Party when I watched it in 2009. It's a tragic story about pioneers looking to start new lives out West. They put their faith in a new route across Utah and Nevada – Hastings Cutoff. Little did they know that the man who created the map, Lansford Hastings, had never taken the trail by wagons.
The group set off in May 1846 with the plan to settle in the Sacramento Valley by September. But they found themselves struggling to make the journey and they ended up stuck in the Sierra Nevada mountain range during the winter of 1846. That winter led to starvation and cannabalism. The group of 81 American pioneers had dwindled to 45; they had starved and cannibalized before they were finally rescued in February 1847.
My favorite AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film premiered in 1993. However, I didn't discover The Donner Party until I had to update the film for a PBS repeat. My colleagues had raved about this film, calling it both gruesome and heartbreaking, so I was incredibly eager to see for myself. I watched the entire film in a dark editing room, completely shocked by the horrifying history I had just witnessed.

Plot Hole
Plot Hole v.1[edit]
Plot Holes are portions of a Plot that are missing and leave a break in consistence. For example: let's say that in a movie, everyone in the United States was bombed and immediately died. Now if later in the movie, the hero goes to the United States and it is a bustling utopia of ignorant pricks, gayness, and chronic masturbators, without telling how it got like that (Which actually happened to the United States, unbeknownst to the U.N.), it would be a Plot Hole. Plot holes will destroy us. Plot holes sucks.
The Demented Poopy-Saturated Llama went to the U.S. to eat cheese. He destroyed all the cheese in the world when he ate it all. THEN PEOPLE ATE CHEESE HA HA HA IT'S A CHEAP JOKE HA HA HA!!!
Usually Plot Holes happen when a main character [<--Backspace] [<--Backspace]
[<--Backspace] ... no more, that was factual! I deleted it all!
Then how is it still here? All you did was put <s> tags on it. That's a plot hole in itself. It would have been easier to actually delete them instead of just typing [<--Backspace]
Well, smart one, that was an example. How do you feel now Mr. Smart?
Plot Hole v.2[edit]
If a plot is so full of holes that it resembles swiss cheese, it will rip open a large hole in the Space-time continuum. The aptly named "Plot Hole" (the naming portion of the government was definitely not on the ball that day) then corrupts time and matter. Case in point: the year the movie (if you could call it a movie) The Big Empty came out, pandemonium broke loose all over the world, creating hurricanes and Bush's idea to run for President. It took all of two years to close that one. In the ninth season of Doctor Who, a plot hole of this kind created a bunch of weird flying creatures to kill all humans. Those creatures operate by a simple rule: The older something is, the stronger it is. Therefore, Grandpa is the strongest person in the world. Old people smell funny, so that means they all must have sandwiches for heads. It's such a fluent transition there, I don't even need to explain it.
(In)Famous Plot Holes[edit]
Unbeknownst to no one, because if everyone knew it would be another plot hole, the following are some famous holes full of plot. (For short, we call them "plot holes," although mundane people with no sense of plot or holes, especially not when put together, just call them Frank.)
- Every hole contained in the center of a Spaghetti-O, Cheerie-O, Froot Loop, or letter O, is a plot hole.
- Donut holes (commonly misspelled as "doughnut" holes).
- Whole notes.
- The hole in the ozone layer.
- Hole-wheat bread.
- Pie holes.
- The word "hole" itself.
- Assholes

Rider Strong & Will Friedle Visit 'Girl Meets World' During Pilot Filming
'Shawn' & 'Eric' stopped by the 'Boy Meets World' spin-off! Will they also guest star on the Disney Channel series?
Excuse me while I recover from my heart exploding. Rider Strong and Will Friedle — who played Shawn Hunter and Eric Matthews, respectively, on Boy Meets World — stopped by the set of Girl Meets World on March 20 to pay a visit to the newbies. And the newbies freaked out accordingly.
"Rider Strong and Will Friedle visited us!" Rowan Blanchard — who plays Riley, aka the Girl — tweeted, along with the above photo. "OH MY GOSH." Rider and Will posed alongside Rowan and Sabrina Carpenter, who plays Riley's "edgy" friend Maya.
Sadly, Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel were not included the family portrait — presumably because no single photograph could handle that much beautiful nostalgia.
UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that Maitland Ward, who played Eric and Jack's roommate Rachel, was also at the taping. She tweeted about being at the studio, but the photos she Instagrammed have been taken down.
Will Shawn & Eric Appear On 'Girl Meets World'?
Though this recent set visit was merely for pleasure, and not business, it sounds like either or both characters could make an appearance on the show at some point.
"At this point, I have no official involvement," Rider wrote in an statement. "There might be a chance to see some of the BMW cast in a guest spot, and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years. But Girl Meets World will be, and I think it should be, it's own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters … And I, for one, can't wait to see it evolve."
Will hasn't released an official statement, but come on, you know he'll be doing that Feeny Call once more.

A publisher shows respect for readers in the wake of another scandal
Somebody at Riverhead Books clearly made a disastrous blunder on the way to the publication of Love and Consequences, a memoir of gang life that has been exposed as a fake. But Riverhead's parent company, Penguin Group USA, deserves praise for announcing that it would recall all copies of the book promptly. Penguin acted responsibly, professionally and in a way that shows respect for readers by moving swiftly to remove the book from shelves and to cancel author Margaret Seltzer's book tour. Nobody wants more publishing scandals to erupt, but when they do, this is the way to handle them www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/books/04fake.html.

Big Oil has deployed the "Tobacco Playbook" once again, this time in response to the release of "Gasland 2."
It comes in the form of a documentary film titled, "FrackNation," whose co-directors' funding in the past came from Donors Capital and Donors Trust, referred to by Mothers Jones' Andy Kroll as "the dark-money ATM of the right" and a major source of funding for climate change denial.
Both "Gasland 2" and "FrackNation" cover hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), the toxic horizontal drilling process via which unconventional oil and gas is obtained from shale rock basins around the country and world. Co-produced and co-directed by Irish couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, "FrackNation" purports to be "funded by the 99 percent to combat the misrepresentations by the 1 percent of urban elites who want to tell rural Americans how to work and live."
McAleer and McElhinney also say they are independent journalists working independently of corporate funding. McAleer was referred to by the San Francisco Chronicle as "climate denial's Michael Moore" and both McAler and McElhinney are listed as "experts" by the climate change-denying Heartland Institute.
"FrackNation is an independent film and we want to remain independent of the Gas industry and be funded by ordinary people," it says on its KickStarter page that it used to raise $212,265 from 3,305 backers of the film between February-April 2012.
This isn't the first dip in the "doubt is our product" pond for McAleer and McElhinney. In the past, they co-directed and co-produced a pro-mining documentary titled "Mine Your Own Business" and a climate change denial documentary titled, "Not Evil, Just Wrong."
Both McAleer and McElhinney have made a living in recent years deploying the "Tobacco Playbook," mutating settled scientific debates on energy and climate catastrophe into false two-sided affairs, which corporate-funded news media take and run with as "he-said, she-said" stories.
Filmmaker's History of Tobacco Playbook Deployment
"FrackNation" made its public debut in Jan. 2013, coinciding with the release of "Promised Land," a Hollywood drama starring Matt Damon.
"It's time Hollywood celebrities and environmentalists were asked some difficult questions about their anti-fracking activities and ideologies. And that's what FrackNation does," McAleer said in a press release announcing the world premiere.
McAleer and McElhinney are now singing a similar tune about "Gasland 2," as it approaches its July 8 HBO release date.
"Mine Your Own Business"
Countering popular environmental struggles and luminaries is the modus operandi for McAleer and McElhinney, with a track record of doing so dating back to the mid-2000's. Their first public foray into the world of "marketing doubt" came with the release of their "Mine Your Own Business: The Dark Side of Environmentalism."
Released in 2006, the film was produced in response to the anti-mining protests that popped up against Gabriel Resources proposed open-pit gold mines in Romania, slated to be the largest in Europe. McAleer said it was "the world's first anti-environmentalist documentary."
One key funder: Gabriel Resources. This moved local Romanian citizen Eugen David to write that the film was pure propaganda.
"Because the gold lies squarely under and around the village of Rosia Montana, Gabriel needs to move out the local population -- roughly 2000 people all in all. But it's not only the people that will need to go," David wrote in Jan. 2007. "Gone also would be our mountains, pastures, rivers and our churches, cemeteries and school – our community with its social fabric and traditions."
The purpose of the film was obvious: complicate the narrative on the proposed mine through ad hominem attacks on environmentalists, rather than addressing environmental issues associated with the mine itself. David and fellow citizens living in the proposed mining area didn't buy the bluff.
"After a first unannounced test screening in Bucharest, Gabriel Resources had to stop the film after 15 minutes because people were so revolted by what they saw," he further explained.
"Mine Your Own Business," however, did have a loyal fan base: the right-wing echo chamber.

Steve Milloy, a tobacco industry front man-turned-fossil fuel industry front man, wrote two favorable reviews for Fox News. The Salt Institute and Atlas Society (named after Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged") echoed Milloy's efforts.
"Not Evil, Just Wrong"
In response to the proposed 2009 federal climate legislation and in the run-up to the 2009 Copenhagen United Nations international climate summit, McAleer and McElhinney released the film, "Not Evil, Just Wrong." Akin to "FrackNation" with "Gasland 2" director Josh Fox, the film spends much time attacking former Vice President Al Gore in ad hominem fashion, with the film serving as a response Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."
"It has no commercial distributor, but instead debuted on an October 18 webcast heavily promoted by social conservative organizations like Focus on the Family and the American Family Association, as well as local Tea Party groups," a Mother Jones article explained.
Paralleling "Mine Your Own Business," the film was met with great fanfare within the right-wing echo chamber despite lack of commercial distribution.
"They've held pre-screenings for bloggers and brought the film to every major conservative conference of 2009, including the Values Voter Summit and Americans for Prosperity's Defending the American Dream Summit," one news media report explained. "At the Conservative Political Action Conference [CPAC], McAleer and McElhinney spoke right before Rush Limbaugh."
Other Big Tobacco apologists-turned-Big Oil apologists also helped promote the film: Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform and the Heritage Foundation, the Cornwall Alliance, The Washington Examiner, Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), the Fraser Institute, Breitbart.com, and Right Online.
McAler and McElhinney have brought the Tobacco Playbook to the big screen. The question remains: who's funding them?
Donors Trust, Donors Capital Funding McAleer, McElhinney
"Mine Your Own Business"
"Mine Your Own Business" was funded by Gabriel Resources, but Gabriel wasn't the only fundee. The other patron: Donors Trust/Donors Capital.
In the past, McElhinney and McAleer were formerly Fellows at the Moving Pictures Institute (MPI), founded by Thor Halvorssen. MPI, in turn, produced "Mine Your Own Business" and is a member of the State Policy Network (SPN), a right-wing echo chamber network for state policy that publishes PR "studies" to promote the corporate agenda.
Halvorssen also runs the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), which has taken $764,950 from Donors Trust and Donors Capital since 2005, according to a recent investigative story by Max Blumenthal. Blumenthal also explains MPI took more than $300,000 from Donors between 2005 and 2011.
"Not Evil, Just Wrong"
"Not Evil, Just Wrong" also received funding from Donors. DeSmogBlog contributor and Guardian (UK) climate changer writer Graham Readfearn explained in a Feb. 2012 article that Donors funnelled $24,753 toward the film.
This lends an explanation as to why "Not Evil, Just Wrong" was promoted by well-heeled climate change deniers in the mid-2010 Balanced Education for Everyone (BEE) campaign, calling for a "balanced" scientific teaching of the climate change "controversy." The BEE campaign parallels ones pushed for via an American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) model bill, by the Discovery Institute, and by the Heartland Institute.
"Global warming alarmists want Americans to believe that humans are killing the planet," BEE's former website explained in promoting the film. "But Not Evil Just Wrong, a documentary by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, proves that the real threats to America (and the rest of the world) are the flawed science and sky-is-falling rhetoric of Al Gore and his allies in environmental extremism."
BEE's campaign was run by the Independent Women's Forum (IWF), which in Oct. 2003 signed a partnership with Americans for Prosperity (AFP), an astroturf front group founded and funded by the Koch Brothers, key funders of the climate change denial machine. The two entitites at the time announced they would share leadership, senior staff and office space, a formal relationship they say ended in 2005.
"Not Evil, Just Wrong" shared the same PR firm with BEE, Go Ahead PR, a sure sign that the film's release and the campaign were part of a coordinated campaign.

Rule of the road
From Wazeopedia
(Redirected from Right-hand traffic)
This page was nominated to be a Wazeopedia Global page. Forum to discuss nomination.
Rule of the road refers to the practice of forcing traffic flow to one side of the road on a two-way street.
- Right-hand traffic (RHT) - Traffic position
- Keep to the right - Traffic position
- Drive on the right - Traffic position
- Left-hand drive (LHD) - Driver position
- Left-hand traffic (LHT) - Traffic position
- Keep to the left - Traffic position
- Drive on the left - Traffic position
- Right-hand drive (RHD) - Driver position
Terms used
The Waze Wiki should use the phrases right-hand traffic and left-hand traffic. Since the left-hand drive and right-hand drive phrases use a direction term that is opposite of the other terms and it is uniquely describing the position of the driver, it is better not to include that phrase when describing the rule of the road. Excluding its use will help reduce the ambiguity possible if a reader mistakes the left-hand drive or right-hand drive is describing the side of the road on which you drive.

Tennessee State running back Telvin Hooks was named to the 2012 Jerry Rice Award Watch List on Wednesday, which honors the FCS' national freshman of the year.
The redshirt freshman from Edgewater, Fla., has rushed for at least 66 yards in four of his first five games, highlighted by 108 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas-Pine Bluff this past Saturday in a 40-13 Tigers victory.
Hooks has totaled 374 yards (on 6.4 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the season-opening stretch. He is also the only player from the OVC nominated and one of 16 players in the nation on the list.
The Rice Award, named for legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice, who played in the FCS (then Division I-AA) at Mississippi Valley State, will be voted on by a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the regular season. The winner will be announced at the FCS national banquet on Dec. 17 in Philadelphia.
Hooks and TSU return to the field this Saturday as they face #16 Eastern Kentucky at 1 p.m. at Hale Stadium.

Web-i-nar [web-uh-nahr]
A seminar or other presentation that takes place on the Internet, allowing participants in different locations to see and hear the presenter, ask questions, and sometimes answer polls.
Thank you dictionary.com for the lovely definition. This strange sounding word – with a rather lackluster definition – could be the ticket to resounding success for your company. Many people don't fully understand how the power of social media tools can boost their company's profile and create an environment that is enjoyable for their customers at the same time. Webinars are one of the most interactive forms of social media because they have incorporated live vocal visual communication; not only can you interact with people across the world, but you can chat with them one-on-one in real-time!
Webinars allow specialists within your company to really broadcast what they are good at. They allow you to draw in audiences that you may not otherwise reach by providing specialized training that is directly linked to your service or product. By broadcasting webinars, you show yourself to be an expert in your niche, which can make your product or service more compelling to the end user. Not only that, but you have full control over what your consumer learns about your product and what they do with it – you call the shots.
Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and other social media sites, come with an aspect of the unknown, which rightfully causes some hesitation. You can certainly use those other networks to promote your upcoming webinar – and you should! But when it comes to the actual production with webinars, the presenter is in control of what's being communicated.
Most companies nowadays are in the business of sales – either selling a product, a service, or an individual – and webinars are the best way for your company to warm any potential business connections you might make by first having good conversations with them. Webinars are easily linked to other individuals and can be filmed and archived, so, not only will they be good in the right-here-and-now, but they will also be good for generating leads on downloads in the future. Depending on the quality of webinar, the amount of information you are sharing, and the market you are working in, your company stands to generate a large number of good leads that are already comfortable with your product and the information you are conveying.
Inbound marketing looks to be here to stay. Older marketing techniques like television, radio, and print ads are starting to slip in their effectiveness – so it is important that you and your company stay ahead of the curve. Starting to host your own Webinars is a great way to attract individual customers while still promoting yourself in a broader sense. By getting started with broadcasting your own Webinars you are taking a step in the right direction as well as a step ahead of the competition.
